The funniest thing about these commercials is, they ran on the beginning of a VHS tape. So no matter what they tell you about how sharp the picture or sound is, the picture and sound you witness in the commercial is VHS grade.
That's actually true. Wow. Never thought of that, but you're absolutely right. I'd give you a delta if this was change my view. That was a great point. But that doesn't negate the fact the actual quality is better. It's up to how they want to market it. But you could literally see and hear the difference for yourself after you bought the item. The commercial can be VHS grade. But the actual thing that you bought is better than VHS grade.
This is so 90's it hurts. The editing is all over the place, and I'm pretty sure there's not a single human being on display here that doesn't think this is the most extreme thing EVAR.
Even though Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD are FAR superior, you can tell DVD has left more of an impact on people, because they're still releasing movies on DVD to this day.
I think a major reason for that is that Blu-ray was just introduced too late to catch on fully in my opinion. Blu-rays and HD DVD's came out around 2006 when most people made the final switch from VHS (which 2006 was the year most stores stopped selling them) to DVD for watching movies. Both HD DVD and Blu-ray competed to sell who would replace DVD's. The Second Format War ended in 2008 with Blu-ray emerging as the winner, most likely due to HD DVD failing to catch on due to it being confused with regular DVD's. However, instead of completely replacing DVD, Blu-ray would coexist with DVD's and this is probably for a few reasons. 1:The Timing: Time goes by so fast nowadays! It was only a couple of years after people switched from VHS to DVD so I highly doubt people wanted to now throw away their DVD's just to replace them with Blu-ray. It would have been a huge waste of time and money doing so (and this is coming form someone who still owns a ton of VHS tapes) 2: The Late 2000s Recession: The economy started going down the toilet around late 2007 but really felt no one felt it until 2008 when the Housing Market crash and several major banks failed. Back then, most people would not of had enough money to buy newer movies and the newest technology when it first came out. 3: The Rise of Digital Streaming: I hate to say this, but, both DVD's and Blu-ray are now just as obsolete as VHS thanks to the rise of digital streaming sites such as Netflix and Hulu. Why would someone want to buy a DVD or Blu-ray if they can stream it on Netflix or Hulu and watch it on their computer, tablet, or smart tv? I guess that's why movie rental stores such as Blockbuster and Hollywood Video have gone out of business. In my opinion, had Blu-ray been invented in the late 1990s alongside DVD, both would've competed to seen who would replace VHS and Blu-ray would have likely won the battle.
I've never purchased a blu-ray disc, and I used DVD right from the moment we switched from VHS up until the moment I switched to online streaming. TBH I've never really been able to see a noticeable difference between DVD and Blu-Ray anyway, so I didn't see the point in switching, and getting a more expensive reader to be able to play more expensive discs
true story: my dad used to buy dvd box sets of the old sitcoms he liked and then he'd transfer them all to vhs because he claimed it was more reliable and practical than on disc
I used to hate DVDs too when I was a kid, even though VHS was already discontinued by the time I was about 4 or 5 (2006-2007 or so), and for very similar reasons too. Apart from the fact that DVDs could be more easily damaged than VHSs (learned that the hard way) the DVD player I used the most as a kid was generally not very reliable either, especially with discs that were even the slightest scratched or smudged (for those wondering, it was the built in player on a 2004 Toshiba DVD, VCR, TV combo set, and as of now, it no longer works so I have an external DVD player hooked up to it now). In fact, true story, when I was in I think fourth grade (which was in the years 2011 and 2012), I actually wrote a paragraph about why I hated DVDs so much and preferred VHSs over them as a writing assignment.
PeterEater98 me too. I’m super glad that I’m very nostalgic for 📀 and blu ray in the past and present, not to worrying about slowing internet on streaming service.
Lmfao! I cannot believe you have this! Me & my brother used to laugh so hard at this back in the day esp at .11 second part when the guys looking all over the place. Lmao Good stuff
DVD has changed a lot throughout my whole decade watching movies the best excitement in in my whole life watching movies forever it feels like VHS home video just sit back and relax and enjoy a high definition movie like how it was first released in movie theaters worldwide and stunning high definition.
***** Russia is a big friendly country!)) to be honest, the situation here is not so good now. Mainly, it is Barack Obama's fault, sorry :( So, how's life in USA? :)
Laughing at "Obama couldn't hold Putin's gym bag. ;-)", sounds funny :) We all do hope, you all will be okay! I have heard, it is gonna be a new president in your country - a women who has the same views as Obama does, even worth, is that true? I wish both countries were friends. Pay a visit to Russia someday, yay! We will be glad to see you, we love foreigners)) I live in Irkutsk so it is one of my favourite cities) But there are lots of other great cities and...I can't actually choose one xD Where do you live? And what is your fav city there?:) p.s. Exuse my mistakes if there were any)
When are the elections of a new president? What's the date?) I'm the type of person who tries to be optimistic. I believe the near future will be more..sunnier and safer, but who actually knows? :D What's your attitude? And are there any worthy candidates? I've heard about numerous Oklahoma's tornadoes. Fearfully, but terribly interesting! I've never seen any tornadoes... Omg, Boston is a very beautiful city! Architecture, views, colors... Lucky you!) How old are you? Do you live alone? Irkutsk is a great city too, but it doesn't fit me, if i can say so :) There are many old buildings (we try to save our old culture), museums and theatres... I dream of visiting Moscow or Saint-Petersburg, Moscow is the capital of Russia and S-P is just a large city with opportunities... Hah, my life goal is travelling, because I want to see/try/eat/take a picture of all and everything!)) What do you dream of most?)
I remember we bought our first DVD player a Phillips Magnavox in 1998 for $400.00, I thought it was so cool to change scenes so fast and no need to rewind.
i was so scared of this commercial when i was a kid. idk why but i never watched this because i always hide or i don't look. today will be the first time i'm watching this in full
Oh how I miss VHS. Remember when we first got our DVD player. We thought we were the shit. "You wana go watch XXXX at my place?" "Nah lets go to my place I have it on the DVD" Oh I miss my youth...

I remember when I switched to DVD back in January 1998. It was January 28, 1998 and I bought myself my first DVD player. It was a glorious day as I could finally put the damn VHS player in the closet and watch a movie without the picture degrading. I have every DVD I have ever owned in my closet and put them all on my computer in 2011 to the cloud. Now that whenever I want to watch a movie, no need to open up endless storage containers for the movie. RIP DVD (1998-2006)
They claim that it's 2x the quality of VHS, and it is actually 480p instead of 240/250p. But some Blu-rays are 1280x720 or 1920x1080. That means VHS was 360/370x240, DVD is 640/720x480. Bluray is 1280x720, or 1920x1080.
I feel bad for those people putting a DVD in, expecting to have a good time innocently watching one of their favorite movies, only to get their house and vehicles all blown and fucked up. Geez...
Most people are not even aware that around that time D-VHS/ D-Theater existed. 50GB Digital VHS tapes and Digital VHS VCR. Picture and Sound quality no different than Blu-ray.

Exactly! Ah logic. The masses seem to be running low on that.
VHS was discontinued due to the popular use of DVD & Blu-Ray. Even streaming.

***** *X-TREEEEEEEEEEEEEM
GNARLY.
I wonder how it'd feel like 50 years from now.
I can tell that this commerical debuted somewhere in late 1997/early 1998, since Warner Bros. didn't had it's iconic CGI logo until November 1998.

Not for long. Many stores are gradually phasing out the DVD in favor of Blu-Ray. In another few years, Blu-Ray will be phased out in favor of 4K.
What’s Blueray DVD and 4k DVD? Is that like the digital version except you have to get up to put a disc in?
I've never purchased a blu-ray disc, and I used DVD right from the moment we switched from VHS up until the moment I switched to online streaming. TBH I've never really been able to see a noticeable difference between DVD and Blu-Ray anyway, so I didn't see the point in switching, and getting a more expensive reader to be able to play more expensive discs
@@DP-hy4vh not really, DVD and Blu-ray still selling much more than 4K, and even Disney knows that and stopped selling 4K anymore
Fun Fact: the 1996 movie, "Twister" was the very first movie to be released on DVD before any other movies
I love how this would ship on VHS tapes yet it shows off the "high fidelity" video and sound while playing off said VHS tape.
This is so late '90s it hurts.
true story: my dad used to buy dvd box sets of the old sitcoms he liked and then he'd transfer them all to vhs because he claimed it was more reliable and practical than on disc

Some days I miss the chaos of 90s video editing
That was an exhausting 1 minute to watch
They claim that it's 2x the quality of VHS, and it is actually 480p instead of 240/250p. But some Blu-rays are 1280x720 or 1920x1080. That means VHS was 360/370x240, DVD is 640/720x480. Bluray is 1280x720, or 1920x1080.
Pokesanity *768x480
DVD is actually 576p not 480p
Holy shit. Have you ever heard of fucking PAL vs NTSC?
Furthermore do something more productive with your time instead of watching old commercials on the internet
Remember when you had to swap the disc with another disc to play the next handfull of episodes?
This was the moment when VHS know his fucked
